Effects - start using in mid teens? stunted growth?

[BrownStreakRailroad]

swim was just wondering if any swimmers out there started using gear in their mid to late teens, as swim did, at 16. now 28, and all the guys that started using the same time as swim that still are using now have really young faces...like, swim looks 21/22!!

lol.... SWIM first tried when he was 17. He and a few classmates (best friends) had just graduated from highschool (most of us graduated a year earlier than the rest of our class) and an older friend sold it to us (we were already into smoking weed/trying psychadelics, so those could also be just as much to blame) and by the time SWIM and his friends were 18 we were doing it every day. SWIM is rather tall himself, but incredibly skinny and lanky, SWIM has always been this way but figured he would put on a few pounds after highschool (this has not happened, SWIM is 6 foot and weighs 130 pounds at 21 years old, same weight as highschool) but the thing is, swim LOOKS the exact same as he did in highschool as well, albeit with more facial hair now. SWIM gets carded every time he tries to buy a pack of smokes or a beer, and when it comes to alcohol, SWIM has had 2 seperate servers accuse him of having a fake ID, "SWIY can't be 21, you just don't look it" The same is true for most of SWIM's friends, not sure if this is because of drugs, or maybe just the water around here but for all SWIM knows it very well could be from dope.

well from what swim has seen it seems the heroin does keep SWIY looking youthful, albeit a bit skinny and pale..but hey..but then it will catch up with SWIY pretty qiuckly once SWIY hit a certain age, big time!!

[BrownStreakRailroad]

well, SWIM guesses this is not the case for most people by the lack of response to this question....its just quite strange that it is only the guys SWIM knows, and indeed SWIM.

Most users who SWIM knows to be honest look the exact opposite. SWIM just looks his age SWIM thinks

Red Rock will be 23 soon but everyone always says he looks like he could be no older than 18 or so. He always gets carded when buying alcohol and even the majority of time when buying cigs.

SWIM was ID'd for cigs a couple of weeks ago so SWIM must be one of the lucky ones
